Ask HN: Developing for Windows Phone 8

1 pointsby friggover 11 years ago
I&#x27;m currently developing for Android only and I&#x27;m thinking about starting WP8 as well but I have a few questions and doubts.<p>The reason I&#x27;m hesitant is because Microsoft announced the release of Windows 9 next year and I&#x27;m not sure about their plans for the current WP8. I don&#x27;t want to waste time on something that has the potential of becoming obsolete.<p>Do you think it&#x27;s worth learning?<p>How are the docs and API compared to Android? Is there something like SO for WP8?<p>How are the dev tools?<p>What&#x27;s a good testing device?<p>I&#x27;m doing this as a hobby only and don&#x27;t want to make it full time. I&#x27;m won&#x27;t (and probably never will) do iOS, right now the reason being cost.
